During the last election, the Kansas Supreme Court found itself at the center of partisan political battles.

Gov. Sam Brownback openly campaigned against the retention of two justices, and he used controversial opinions, such as vacating the death sentences of two convicted killers, as a way of criticizing Democrat Paul Davis, alleging that if elected, Davis Nuss would appoint the same kind of “liberal” judges.

“I am not going to comment on that,” Chief Justice Lawton Nuss said during a rare news conference following his State of the Judiciary speech Wednesday.

But Nuss did have plenty to say about Brownback’s current proposal to change the way SuSchmidt preme Court justices are selected.

In his State of the State address, Brownback called for a constitutional amendment that would either have justices directly elected by the people or move to something more like the federal model, where the governor could appoint whomever he chooses, subject to confirmation in the Kansas Senate.

“We’ve had (the current) system for almost 60 years now,” Nuss said. “Personally, I think it’s a great system. It’s known around the country as a merit system, and I think it is certainly worth keeping. I don’t see anything broken with it. I don’t see any problems with it.”

Brownback proposes to backpedal on school funding increase

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback is proposing that Kansas backpedal on a much-ballyhooed increase in spending on public schools, just as he is asking fellow Republicans in the Legislature to slow down aggressive tax-cutting because of big budget shortfalls.

“

When we have more students with higher needs, it costs more to educate them. I just don’t trust what the future holds.”

— Brian Smith, Galenda schools superintendent Brownback won praise from conservatives by successfully pushing lawmakers to slash personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 to boost the state’s economy. He narrowly

won re-election in November after noting that at the end of his first term the state committed to boosting aid to poor school districts, albeit under pressure from the courts.

Cattle trails closer to national designation Wichita (ap) — The possible national designation of two Kansas cattle trails is a step closer to reality.

The Chisholm and Great Western trails have been studied by the federal government since 2009, when Congress directed the secretary of the Interior to evaluate the trails to see whether they would qualify to be named national historic trails.

Any additional designations would bring more visibility, prestige and tourists — and possibly even tax incentives for owners of land where historic events occurred.

The National Park Service announced this month its feasibility study was complete and is ready for public comment, another step in the designation process, The Wichita Eagle reported.

“As a historian, I think it would help promote the trails and their connection to Western heritage for future generations,” said Jeff Sheets, director of the Dickinson County Historical Society in Abilene.

Kansas is considered the crossroads for many of the historic trails of the Old West. The state

already has four national historic trails: the Santa Fe, the Lewis and Clark, the Pony Express and the Oregon.

Some Kansans, like Sheets, have worked nearly a decade to earn the designation. In addition to his work for Dickinson County, Sheets also is chairman of the Kansas Chapter of the International Chisholm Trail Association, which has advocated for the Chisholm Trail to become a national historic trail since 1995.

“At the least amount, it will mean signage on major highways similar to what has been done along the Santa Fe and Oregon trails,” Sheets said. “It would mean creating partnerships with property owners — who have historic sites and would want to open up their land.”

The National Park Service conducted 12 public meetings in communities along the trail in 2010, according to a news release.

After gathering feedback, it began a four-year effort to determine whether the trails would meet the requirements for national designation.

The public has until March 5 to read and make comments on the study.

The ‘triple play’ of 1956 Nuss, an avid reader of Kansas history, noted that Kansas made the change in 1958 following an infamous political scandal that came to be known as the “triple play.”

The Kansas Historical Society recounts that story on its website, describing how in 1956, then-Gov. Fred Hall, a Republican, lost the party’s nomination for a second term. The person who did win the nomination, Warren Shaw, went on to lose the November general election to Democrat George Docking.

On Dec. 31, before the

Elections and appointments “Currently, we have the least democratic system in America to select Supreme Court justices,” Brownback said. “With the court involving itself in so many public policy issues, it is time the selection process be more democratic.”

But Nuss argued that the merit-based process is democratic, in a sense, because anyone with an active law license who is at least 30 years old can apply for the job and be considered. And he argued the federal model of allowing the chief executive to appoint whomever he wants, subject to confirmation, is not something the state should copy.

“I think you just look at the problems that come out of Washington, D.C., and say for starters, that’s not necessarily a good method,” he said.

But he and other advocates for merit-based selection say the biggest dangers are in the direct election of judges.

“You have justices, or judicial candidates, going around the state asking for money,” he said. “They spend a lot of time campaigning for that office.”

He pointed to a recent case in West Virginia where, in 2004, the chairman of the Massey Coal Co. donated $3 million to a candidate challenging that state’s chief justice for reelection. The challenger

won. Soon after, that justice heard the appeal of a case involving Massey and voted in the company’s favor by overturning a $50 million verdict against the company in a contract dispute.

The U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that the justice should have recused himself from the case.

Justice at Stake’s Debra Erenberg said that’s only one example of how an electoral system can corrupt the judicial process.

Since the Citizens United decision, there has been an explosion of thirdparty, independent money flowing into judicial election campaigns, and they now make up the vast majority of all campaign spending in judicial elections.

“Advertisements in judicial elections are almost entirely related to criminal cases, accusing judges of being soft on crime,” she said. “And there have been studies that show as judges get closer to elections, they are more likely to rule harshly against defendants.

In fact, though, if you look at the people paying for the ads, that’s not the reason why they’re trying to unseat the judge. It’s usually more about economic issues.”

Political analysts have said Brownback probably has enough support to get a constitutional amendment through the Legislature, where it must pass both chambers by at least a twothirds majority.

But then it must be approved by voters in a general election, and there the proposal may have more difficulty.

In 2013, Justice at Stake commissioned a statewide poll that showed 61 percent of registered voters, including 57 percent of registered Republicans, opposed doing away with the merit system in favor of direct appointments by the governor.

There has not been any recent polling, however, on the question of switching to direct elections.

making courts more directly accountable to voters.

“I’ve always argued that the reason to consider change is to try to promote legitimacy, democratic legitimacy or general acceptance of opinions because that really is the power that the judicial branch has, and I think we have to cherish it and preserve it,” Schmidt said.

Officials at Judicial Watch, a nonpartisan group that monitors political developments in state courts, said Kansas would be making a mistake by changing to a more political appointment process.

“The move that Gov. Brownback and certain legislators have proposed is definitely not something we consider a good move for Kansas,” said Debra Erenberg, director of state affairs for the group.

Missouri was the first state to adopt a merit-based system, where governors choose judges from a handful of nominees that are first screened by a non-partisan nominating commission. It then spread to several other states, largely in response to corruption in states that either elected judges or allowed governors to select their own.

new governor took office, Chief Justice William Smith resigned, citing poor health.

So on Jan. 3, with only 11 days left in office, Gov. Hall resigned, and Lt. Gov. John B. McCuish became governor. McCuish then immediately appointed Hall to the vacant Supreme Court seat.

It was considered perfectly legal at the time, but it created a public uproar.

Lawmakers responded the next year by passing a constitutional amendment for a merit-based selection process, and that was approved by voters in the 1958 election.

current budget and for the fiscal year beginning in July. Brownback’s spending recommendations would reduce education funding after setting a high-water mark in the current school year.

The governor and top aides contend he’s trying to stabilize aid to schools so lawmakers can rewrite an antiquated and confusing formula for distributing it.

But his own budget numbers show a slight drop in overall aid for the next fiscal year and, when teacher-pension payments are excluded, a 3 percent decrease.

“We say it’s flat. Schools are going to say it’s a huge cut,” Shawn Sullivan, Brownback’s budget director, said during a recent interview.

The governor’s proposals on school funding accompany measures to slow future income tax cuts and dramatically increase the tobacco and alcohol taxes.

He’s pushing legislators to

Officers were dispatched to West Sixth Street and Monterey Way just after 2:20 a.m. on a reported stabbing.

On arrival, officers found the victim had been punched several times in the face and stabbed once in the up-

per chest. He told police two men attacked him, then fled in a black vehicle.

Medics transported the victim to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with serious injuries.

No further information was available Sunday night.

Among Brownback’s proposals: State aid to school districts, in millions: l Actual aid, fiscal year 2014, which ended June 30, 2014: $3,502.8. l Proposed aid, fiscal 2015, which began July 1, 2014: $3,712.5, up $209.7, or 6 percent. l Proposed aid, fiscal 2016, which begins July 1, 2015: $3,599.6, down $112.9, or 3 percent. l Proposed aid, fiscal 2017, which begins July 1, 2016: $3,604.1, up $4.4, or 0.1 percent.

Some educators and legislators say they’re puzzled by his proposals because he hasn’t spelled out the details of how dollars would be distributed without the current formula, which provides state funds on a per-student basis.

Brownback and other

conservatives criticize the existing formula because it locks the state into additional spending if more students enroll — or for other reasons, such as more kids qualifying for free lunches or districts putting up new buildings. This year’s school-aid bill is $63 million more than lawmakers anticipated when they first set the current budget last spring, and such increases complicate efforts to keep

reducing income taxes.

“When we have more students with higher needs, it costs more to educate them,” said Brian Smith, superintendent in Galena, a poor southeast Kansas district with about 840 students. “I just don’t trust what the future holds.”

Parents and other school districts sued the state in 2010 over education funding.

In ruling last year in favor of poor districts, the Kansas Supreme Court didn’t say whether the state spends enough money overall on its schools, and in December, a lower-court panel said the state must boost annual spending by at least $548 million to provide a suitable education to every child.

The state provided about $3.5 billion in aid to districts outside of payments for teacher pensions during the state’s 2014 fiscal year, which ended June 30. The figure would jump to more than $3.7 billion under the current budget.

But in fiscal 2016, beginning in July, the figure would drop to about $3.6 billion, a decline of $113 million from the highwater mark. It would stay at $3.6 billion for fiscal 2017.

hen Debby Fitzhugh, of Topeka, lost her cat Lion King in 2012, she lost her “best bud.”

Distraught, Fitzhugh said, she had the 22-year-old cat cremated and kept several of his toys as keepsakes.

The following Christmas, Fitzhugh was surprised when her daughter, Leandre Monreal, presented her with a glass sun catcher made with Lion King’s ashes.

“It’s a real nice gesture, and to have something like that to remember him…” Fitzhugh paused. “It caught me off guard.”

To have the sun catcher created, Monreal reached out to Vaughn and Aly Evans of Linwood. For the past several years the couple has operated cremationmarbles.com, a small art business incorporating the cremated ashes of lost friends, family members and beloved pets into glass art.

Vaughn Evans began creating glass beads and marbles when he was 16. From there, it quickly turned into a full-time passion.

The 32-year-old father of two

said sometime around 2009, a curious and prospective client picked up one of his business cards at an art display and called him asking if he would be willing to work cremated ashes into his art.

“I did it, it came out really good, and I did a blog post on it,” he said. “And then I started hearing from people around the country, around the world.”

With a bit of practice, Evans was able to incorporate his own artistic style into the wishes of his customers.

“All of my work is very symmetrical and has a focus point,” he said. “I’ll heat up the end of my torch, I’ll have the ash prepared to the side, push the molten glass into the ash and use that one piece as the center focus.”

Six years later and processing an average of one order a week, Evans said his work is slowly but surely turning into a fullfledged business.

“We’ve heard such wonderful stories from customers,” said Aly Evans. “People want to have something to hold on to that can signify the love of people or pets.”

Now customers can choose between different sizes of glass marbles, beads, pendants, jew-

“

I’d recommend this for anyone. I think it’s something that can be incorporated into whatever you choose to keep of your pet as a reminder.”

— Debby Fitzhugh, Topeka resident elry and paperweights, Vaughn Evans said. But the work doesn’t end there.

“I’ve definitely done a lot of special orders,” he said. “Somebody loved turquoise, and I had to match that color. I’ve done fire trucks, and I’ve written peoples’ names in glass on several occasions.”

While Evans handles the production side of the business, his wife handles much of the rest.

“She’s the other half of the brain,” he said. “She’s a yoga teacher, she does acupuncture.

We’re in completely different circles and we complement each other well.”

Aly Evans said her work on the business side comes more naturally to her than it does her husband, and she’s glad to help, Please see ASHES, page 4A

Topeka schools, black colleges join forces Topeka (ap) — The Topeka school district is working with several historically black colleges and universities in Texas to make its teaching staff more diverse.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that the district hopes to seal formal affiliations with Wiley College, Jarvis Christian College, Texas College, Huston-Tillotson University and Texas Southern University.

Marie Carter, of the district’s human resources department, said the

goal is mutual recruiting.

The Topeka district plans to hold a minority college fair next fall, with representatives from the colleges, to connect students with more post-secondary options and potentially scholarships.

The idea is that many college students return to their hometowns to teach once they’ve completed their studies. Topeka district administrators are hoping the collaboration could lead to more minority candidates for teaching jobs in Topeka.

How to choose the right snowblower Fix-It Chick S

hoveling snow is fun the first few times you do it, but soon the novelty wears out, your back begins to hurt and you realize there has to be a better way. For many, a snowthrower or a snowblower is the answer.

Step 1: Think about the type of snow you usually shovel: is it light and fluffy or thick and wet? How deep is it? Where do you shovel? Do you shovel the porch or the deck, a large driveway or a long sidewalk? Does the city snowplow leave a large pile of snow at the end of your driveway?

“There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of Lion King,” Fitzhugh said. “I’d recommend this for anyone. I think it’s something that can be incorporated into whatever you choose to keep of your pet as a reminder.”

That sentiment isn’t a one-way street, Vaughn Evans added. Often families will send him pictures of the people whose ashes he’s working with. That connec-

tion is much deeper than if he were simply creating beads or marbles alone, he said.

Inevitably, the final product of his hard work becomes a part of a family’s life, he said, and it’s not a responsibility he takes lightly.

“My part is just doing my best to make sure they’re remembered in the highest quality in every aspect,” he said. “You can just throw some ash into some glass pretty easily, but that’s not what I’m going for. I’m looking to make a unique piece of art.”

frauding millions of his followers and after his widely publicized infidelity with Jessica Hahn.

In the meantime, Messner — who had been the chief builder of the Heritage USA theme park — was convicted of bankruptcy fraud and spent two years in prison.

Tammy Faye married Messner in 1993. In 2004, she appeared on the reality show “The Surreal Life” and re-emerged as a television and cult personality, this time embracing gay men infected with the AIDS virus and appearing alongside exporn-star Ron Jeremy.

Her faith never wavered through controversy or failing health.

“You wouldn’t believe when Tammy passed away, you know those big mail sacks?” Messner asked. “I got 12 mail sacks the week she died. It was literally thousands and thousands of sympathy cards.

“She was the most common, down-to-earth person you ever saw. The press always made her out to be some nitwit type of person. She was totally different. Her IQ was 165.

She was so sharp and different than everybody thought she was.”

Even now, he said, peo-

ple will sometimes write and say they have visited her graveside.

“I was down there this summer, and I could see several people there had left stuff,” he said.

Getting to Waldron, which is about 95 miles southwest of Wichita and nearly on top of the Oklahoma state line, requires back-roads determination.

Washboard roads slow SUVs to covered-wagon speeds. There are seldom any road signs, and cellphone coverage is spotty.

“Some roads you can’t take all the way.”

She pointed recent visitors down the road and to the right, to the unmarked cemetery.

“I never did meet Tammy Faye, but I always heard stories about her,” Nelson said.

2015 SPRING SCHEDULE 2015 Presidential Lecture Series: The First Woman President 2.0 With attention turning toward the next presidential race, we look at an issue we first addressed nine years ago: will the U.S. elect its first woman president? What unique challenges must women overcome to rise through the ranks to some of the highest positions in public service, politics, and business or to be President of the United States?

Following the historic election of our first African-American President in 2008, we update the Dole Institute’s 2006 series on women in leadership and look at this possibility for 2016.

tion. The company is one of the older rental businesses in the country.

The business rents a variety of tools to contractors and home owners, services events with tents, tables, chairs and other such items, and supplies a large amount of the portable toilets you see on jobs sites and elsewhere around town.

But what’s this talk of fine art?

Anderson said art is the newest rental product the company is offering.

Anderson has been a professional artist and has multiple contacts in that world. She has created a new business, MEA Fine Art, and now she is creating a new program where people can rent art rather than buy it. She’s working with about eight regional artists currently, but hopes to expand the business to a more national base of artists as the concept catches on.

But just how is the concept going to catch on, you ask. Well, take this recent scene from Lawrence life: You’re going to host the president for dinner. Your spouse keeps harping that your substantial art collection of dogs playing pool isn’t

appropriate for such a dinner. So, you rent a few pieces of art for the special occasion.

Or some other scenarios include businesses renting art for their waiting rooms, corporations needing art for special events, or real estate agents who need a few pieces to stage a home that they have on the market.

But Anderson hopes the idea goes beyond that. She hopes that rentals will make fine art more affordable.

“My goal is to make fine artists more available to the public,” Anderson said. l l l

There’s been a lot of talk lately about faster Internet service, and there is news on that front from WOW. The city’s largest Internet service provider is now offering 110 Mbps service in Lawrence and the surrounding areas that WOW serves.

The 110 Mbps service is more than twice as fast as the 50 Mbps service, which previously was the fastest residential service WOW offered in Lawrence. But it is not as fast as the gigabit service that is being discussed at City Hall. We reported back in September that WOW was going to introduce the faster service sometime in 2015. That announcement came as the city was considering whether to offer incentives to Wicked. WOW’s most recent announcement that service is now

beginning comes as the commission is set to discuss those incentives again.

In terms of how much the service will cost, WOW is encouraging people to call a customer service representative because the price varies depending on what type of bundle you are in. When asked to be more specific, a WOW representative told me via e-mail that the service would cost $13.05 more than the 50 Mbps service, which has prices that vary depending on what bundle you are part of.

But my understanding, based on a conversation with a customer service rep, is that standalone 50 Mbps internet service costs $99.95 per month, so that would put the new service at $113 per month, if you didn’t want any other services such as cable television or phone.

WOW has launched the faster service in several markets, including Chicago, Detroit and parts of Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Alabama and Georgia. l l l

While I was talking to WOW’s system manager, Debra Schmidt, I also asked her about some television changes on WOW’s cable network.

an agreement with the broadcaster on appropriate re-broadcast fees that were to be paid to KSNT. Schmidt said there are no plans to bring back KSNT. Instead, WOW subscribers can get their NBC programming through KSHB, which is the NBC affiliate in Kansas City. For years, the local cable system has carried both Kansas City and Topeka-based network affiliates. But slowly, the Topeka affiliates have been dropped as the issue of re-broadcast fees has become more challenging for cable systems. Currently, WIBW, the CBS affiliate, is the only Topeka station still on the WOW network. WOW is required by law to carry the Kansas City network affiliates because Lawrence is considered part of the Kansas City television market.

Schmidt also confirmed that 6News, the cable news broadcast produced

WOW has discontinued the standard 10 p.m. Sunday evening news broadcast. It has been replaced with a weather segment and The Drive sports program.

Pressure tactics Wicked Broadband’s effort to pressure Lawrence city commissioners into supporting a loan guarantee for the company may end up having the opposite effect.

T

he email the co-owner of Wicked Broadband sent last week to a couple of Lawrence city commissioners who are seeking re-election was something between a threat and a promise.

Either way, the message only adds to the reasons commissioners should deny a $300,000 loan guarantee for Wicked.

In his email, Josh Montgomery advised commissioners Bob Schumm and Terry Riordan that he had organized a block of 1,184 voters who plan to base their votes in the upcoming City Commission race on where candidates stand on broadband issues. He also asked Schumm and Riordan to meet with him to “discuss your position on the issue and how we might be able to work together for the benefit of Lawrence.”

The email struck Riordan as “too much of a quid pro quo proposition,” but just in case Montgomery’s intent wasn’t clear, he told a Journal-World reporter that if Schumm failed to vote in favor of the loan guarantee for Wicked, “I can guarantee those voters won’t vote for Bob Schumm.”

(The reporter asked only about Schumm because he didn’t know then that the email also had gone to Riordan.)

Any vote against the loan guarantee, Montgomery said, would be construed as a vote against high speed broadband service in the city, and his voters would respond accordingly.

It’s impossible to predict how Montgomery’s voting block would respond, but a vote against the Wicked loan guarantee is just that: a vote against the loan guarantee, not a vote against high-speed broadband.

Commissioners have been supportive of efforts to provide high-speed broadband in the community but they’ve had concerns about Wicked’s proposal, which is on Tuesday’s agenda. Documents forwarded to commissioners as part of that agenda raise additional concerns about both the policy and financial aspects of this request. Montgomery’s ill-advised email may only add to those concerns.

In defense of his actions, Montgomery said he wanted Schumm and Riordan to understand that he thinks high-speed broadband is going to be a key issue in the commission campaign. At least one candidate, Montgomery’s wife and Wicked co-owner Kris Adair, is likely to make sure that is the case, regardless of what action the commission takes this week.

That’s fine. Candidates should share their opinions on an issue that the next commission almost certainly will deal with.

But that doesn’t mean that if current commissioners are convinced the Wicked loan guarantee is a bad deal for the city that they shouldn’t go ahead and reject it.

The commission has been considering various Wicked requests for support for more than a year. Montgomery’s heavyhanded attempt to pressure commissioners into supporting his firm actually may make it that much easier for commissioners to say no.

Funding stand marginalizes Sanders Washington — The young man who answered the phone in the Senate office of Vermont’s Bernie Sanders told the caller, a would-be campaign contributor, that it is illegal for funds to be accepted on federal property.

He advised the person to contact Sanders’ political operation, which might become a presidential campaign.

Sanders, 73, does not smile promiscuously, as befits someone who thinks the republic is being ruined by the government’s parsimony regarding social programs, its obsequiousness toward Wall Street, and its tolerance of billionaires influencing electoral politics.

If, however, he wants to seek the Democratic nomination, he should soften his starchy disapproval of rich donors.

Without them, Minnesota Sen. Eugene McCarthy’s 1968 anti-Vietnam War insurgency in the Democratic primaries would have been impossible. McCarthy was able to precipitate President Lyndon Johnson’s retirement only because of five wealthy liberals’ seed money (e.g., Stewart Mott’s $210,000 would be $1.4 million today).

Sanders calls himself an independent, although he caucuses and reliably votes with Senate Democrats. He also calls himself a socialist, which is naughty without being informative. Time was, socialism meant government ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange — or at least of the economy’s “commanding heights.” Sanders says his idea of socialism exists in Europe’s social de-

“

Sanders calls himself an independent, although he caucuses and reliably votes with Senate Democrats.

He also calls himself a socialist, which is naughty without being informative.” mocracies, which he considers hugely successful. Never mind the European Union’s 10 percent unemployment rate and 0.3 percent growth rate, Greece’s prostration, etc.

Long ago, some American mayors called themselves socialists, although, writes historian Morton Keller (in “America’s Three Regimes”), “their collectivist impulse did not go much beyond public utilities: ‘gas and water socialism.’”

In 1912, America’s Socialist Party reached its apogee when its presidential candidate, labor leader Eugene Debs, won 5.99 percent of the vote in a contest with former president Theodore Roosevelt, the incumbent William Howard Taft, and the winner, Woodrow Wilson. In every election from 1928 through 1948, Socialists

nominated Norman Thomas (Princeton class of 1905; martinis at the barricades?), whose best showing was a paltry 2.23 percent in the grim year 1932.

Sanders thinks that mounting a third-party campaign might face insuperable barriers to ballot access. If so, the nation is not nearly as unhappy as Sanders thinks it should be. In the annus horribilis 1968, Alabama’s Gov. George Wallace, with a shoestring budget and negligible staff, ignited a conflagration of grassroots support that propelled him onto all 50 state ballots.

Impediments were much higher then than they now are: California required collecting 66,000 signatures in 1967 and signatories had to fill out a two-page legal-size form joining Wallace’s party.

More than 100,000 did. His Ohio supporters had to gather an absurd 433,000 signatures in 10 weeks. They exceeded that total by perhaps 100,000.

Sanders, however, insists that he is no Norman Thomas, who ran not to win but to leaven the nation’s political conversation with new ideas.

Sanders says he will not run in Democratic primaries unless he thinks he can win. But how can he win the nomination if he cannot rally followers sufficient in numbers and intensity to get him on state ballots as a third-party candidate? On the other hand, he does not want to be in 2016 what Ralph Nader was in 2000. Nader’s 97,488 votes in Florida, where Al Gore lost by 537 votes, cost Gore this state and the presidency.

Sanders, a powerhouse on

social media, visited Iowa four times last year and relishes the kind of retail campaigning that Iowans reward. Vermont’s neighbor New Hampshire comes next in the nomination calendar. He represents what another Vermonter, Howard Dean, called “the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party,” but his agenda is not really radical. It is not progressivism on steroids; spinach, maybe.

He thinks college education has become too expensive but he may not understand Washington’s role in this: Colleges increase tuition to capture increased federal subsidies for students. He passionately favors federal funding for universal preschool, and dismisses research, based on 50 years’ experience with Head Start, indicating that its benefits are small and evanescent. He is serenely sure “other research” reaches encouraging conclusions.

Sanders vehemently denounces Supreme Court rulings that limit government’s power to restrict the giving and spending that finance political advocacy. The court says money is indispensable to the dissemination of advocacy, so some limits abridge First Amendment protections.

Sanders’ authentic passion enlivens our often synthetic politics. There is, however, some justice in the fact that his principled rejection of the connection between money and speech might prevent his other principles from being heard.

University presidents assess future

By Gene Budig and Alan Heaps

Not surprisingly, public college and university presidents look at the new year with pangs of trepidation, realizing the possibility of increased tax support is remote, at best, knowing that further recessions in budgets are possible and that a heavy load of greater fundraising will land on their collective backs.

And they will face a heated national debate on whether to keep the historical college experience much as it has been for generations or shift to a more practical and affordable curriculum that takes into account the knowledge and technical skills that lead to early and employable skills.

They expect no early consensus on the prickly subject and a lot of divisive and hardened statements.

According to 10 university presidents we polled in early January, the right answers lie somewhere in between the great divide with respect for tradition and the realities of the day.

They were quick to point out placement remains strong in the sciences, computer science and mathematics, engineering, business, accounting and the mix of medical specialties. Four of the group predicted an uptick in law, education and the languages.

There is a decline of interest in the humanities because of limited employment opportunities but no one in the survey questioned their long-term value and importance. They are committed to them.

One of the presidents predicted no end to the blame game between the traditional campuses and the statehouses, with state lawmakers pointing to community colleges as “the

practical answer to many economic ills.”

She further said lawmakers regard the two-year colleges as “bargains that lead to early employability.”

Eight of the presidents pointed out that half of the current crop Budig of collegians are enrolled at two-year institutions and a high percentage of them want to go on and eventually earn a baccalaureate degree. Both types of institutions have a vital role to play and widespread understanding and cooperation are Heaps essential for the years ahead, the 10 officials underscored.

Six of the presidents said they cannot afford to be split on fundamental values with community colleges.

The cost of higher education at the public four-year level schools has grown faster than health care, approximating more than $9,000 a year and the figure for private universities exceeds $30,000. Increases in tuition and fees, especially at state schools, has been stifling at state universities.

Seven of the poll respondents are in the throes of major fundraising drives with targets of more than a billion dollars and the newest president is seeking at least $900 million over four years.

Increased student financial assistance, faculty awards, needed research support and incentives for economic development are the campaign priorities.

In an effort to underscore the importance of a college education, renewed emphasis is being given to energized students with special skill sets, seven of the presidents revealed. These students will be important in helping to explain the true value of college to prospective students. Half of the presidents are reaching out for funds to help transfer students, primarily from the two-year colleges.

The ten leaders were quizzed about the state of athletics on their campuses, and the replies were muted, at best. One of them bluntly asserted, “That horse left the barn a long time ago.” Another five questioned whether they will be able to keep stadiums and areas near capacity with cost sensitive students.

Eight of the 10 presidents believe their new students are well prepared for college level work and the other two were optimistic. Six of them said their students are more motivated than ones in the past and more determined to graduate on time.

After Gordon Gee, an academic leader for some 40 years and once Time Magazine’s College President of the Year, reviewed the findings he observed: “Their thoughts are truthful and deserve careful consideration.”

“Being a successful university leader today is both complex and sometimes maddening. Few things are as they once were.”

“The road to meaningful success is difficult and treacherous, but always rewarding. The bond between twoand four-year colleges has never been more important.”

“The illegal black market in Manila is very clearly, systematically exploiting a nearby population,” he said. “We’re concerned that over exploiting it could lead to that species becoming extinct.”

Beyond the newly discovered species, Brown said his research revealed that about half the time, the reported origins of reptiles for sale did not match their true origins.

Sometimes animals, like the new lizards, were described as being from more exotic or restricted locales than they really were. Other times, animals obtained illegally were listed as being culled from approved locales.

Either way, it’s a conservation concern, Brown said.

Sometimes origins are falsified, enabling animals to be sold to zoos in ways that appear legal, Brown said. Other times, animals are illicitly exported as exotic pets.

“People do all sorts of crazy things,” he said.

“For some reason the exotic reptile trade is just out of control.”

Brown said he hopes his research will help change that, by documenting species and exposing the truth about animals sold on the black market.

It’s also important to continue developing partnerships with the Philippines government and raising awareness of the importance of the issue.

“These types of studies really do a lot to kind of bolster the morale,” he said.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mason, Graham play well together Watching Frank Mason and DevontÊ Graham play together for the final 10:34 Saturday, turning a onepoint lead over Texas into a 75-62 Kansas University victory in the Erwin Center felt a little like watching the Royals’ stress-free bullpen work.

Mason and Graham have a knack for taking pressure off of each other and putting it on opposing defenses. “When we’re in the game at the same time, that’s our job,� Graham said. “Coach always tells us we’ve got to get a good shot every possession, so taking care of the ball is the key to getting a good shot every possession. We can’t just be out there turning the ball over as point guards.�

Graham has proof that he values possessions, both preserving them and stealing them. He not only has a 3.4-to-1 assists-to-turnover ratio, he has more steals (11) than turnovers (8).

The hand Self played for the final 10:34 Saturday in Austin wasn’t available to him in six games this season, including a 25-point loss at Temple, because Graham was lost to injuries. He won’t go in that direction for such a long stretch in every game, but the coach has nothing but confidence in the tandem.

The two small guards played together for 12 minutes in all Saturday, and the statistics backed up what everybody’s eyes saw. The Jayhawks play more aggressively, move the ball better and get better shots when Graham and Mason form the backcourt.

In the 28 minutes that either Mason or Graham was on the court, but not both, Kansas and Texas played to a stalemate, 44-44. KU shot .386 from the field and had three turnovers with one point guard, and shot .556 with no turnovers with two point guards.

Clutch free-throw shooting is another factor that gives Graham and Mason a Wade Davis/Greg Holland feel to them.

In the final five minutes of games, Graham has made 22 of 24 free throws (.917), Mason 19 of 23 (.826).

Those numbers scream composure and conditioning.

Jayhawks have a ball at clinic

A Special Olympian had a special favor to ask of Kansas University junior basketball power forward Hunter Mickelson on Sunday afternoon at the 31st-annual Wilt Chamberlain Clinic in Allen Fieldhouse. “Can you help me look for coach Self? I’ve got a surprise bowl I made for him in ceramics,� a young female athlete said, holding a gift for KU basketball coach Bill Self. “Before you leave, yes, ma’am, we’ll find him,�

Jonesboro, Arkansas, gentleman Mickelson promised.

About 10 minutes later,

after Self was located in a crowded gym, the Olympian indeed was able to present KU’s 12th-year coach a homemade gift during the autograph-signing portion of the 21⠄2-hour event. “Thank you very much.

You made that in ceramics?�

Self asked the Olympian. “I took that in school, but I wasn’t very good at it. You’re obviously better than me.�

The Olympian pumped her fist and screeched, “Yes,� after completing her special delivery. “This is one of the best days of the year for our team,� Self said, assessing the clinic held a day after the Jayhawks’ 75-62 victory

over Texas in Austin. “We’ve done this after we’ve lost.

We’ve done this after we’ve won. The thing is, regardless of what the outcome was the day before, it’s unconditional. The guys and gals are totally into it the same each and every year. This touches our players, and our players enjoy reaching them.�

Whether it was Jamari Traylor grabbing the microphone and doing play-byplay of the 100 Olympians’ scrimmages, or Kelly Oubre Jr. showing proper dribbling and passing technique in drills, the Jayhawks indeed had a blast on their scheduled “day off.� “Winning on the road was

really big. Of course, everybody is going to be real excited after something like that,�

Mickelson said. “Coming back here and being able to do this ... what I’ve seen from everybody is that we’re all in good spirits, having a great time on a good Sunday. “They are really sweethearted,� Mickelson added of the Olympians. “You can tell it means a lot to them, and they’re all out here having a good time.�

Self said the tape of the KUTexas game indicated the Jayhawks (16-3, 5-1), “did play well. We had two turnovers in the first five minutes, and Please see HOOPS, page 7B

KU football lands 4, loses 2 pledges

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It was net-two for Kansas University’s footballrecruiting efforts over the weekend, as the Jayhawks and head coach David Beaty picked up four more oral commitments but also lost two previous commitments to other schools.

Three-star defensive end Dorance Armstrong, 6-foot-4, 220 pounds from North Shore High in Galena Park, Texas; two-star wide receiver Jeremiah Booker, 6-3, 187, College Station (Texas) High; and two-star linebacker Osaze Ogbebor, 6-1, 195,

one the last 35 minutes of the game. Even though we didn’t shoot a great percentage (43.5 percent to Texas’ 40.0), if you don’t turn it over and you get 13 offensive rebounds like we did, you have opportunities over time, which is a huge key.”

Self said he did notice Wayne Selden Jr. cheering wildly on the bench in the closing seconds despite the fact the sophomore wing played just nine minutes the second half after going 18 minutes the first half.

“He’s a winner,” Self said.

“That was a team win.

Nobody could argue the five best players played down the stretch in yesterday’s game. Kelly was good (14 minutes first half, seven second).

Wayne was good. They both scored eight points.

Jamari (Traylor) made some of the key plays in

Heritage High in Frisco, Texas, all gave oral commitments to Beaty in the past 48 hours.

Late Sunday night, JayhawkSlant reported that 5-10, 165-pound Richmond, Texas, wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. also orally committed to KU. Armstrong chose KU over offers from Cal, Houston, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa State, Michigan State, Northwestern, Oregon State and Purdue, among others. Booker picked KU over offers from Nevada and New Mexico and interest from Oklahoma State. And Ogbebor committed to KU

over offers from New Mexico State, Tulsa and UTEP. Sims was drawing interest from Colorado, McNeese State, Boise State and Utah among others.

However, the Jayhawks also received bad news in the form of changes-ofheart from wide receiver Kevin Thomas, who now is committed to SMU, and athlete Arico Evans, who now is committed to TCU. When they committed — Evans in December and Thomas last summer — the Texas athletes were regarded as two of the best gets in the Jay-

the game. (But) down the stretch, those five who were out there played very, very well.”

Self in the second half extensively used Frank Mason III (12 points, four assists, no turnovers), Devonté Graham (three assists, no turnovers, two points), Brannen Greene (four threes in five tries), Cliff Alexander (15 points, nine boards) and Perry Ellis (14 points, five boards, three assists).

“I thought late-game we definitely needed two little guards in there since I knew they were going to pressure,” Self said of the Mason-Graham duo handling UT’s pressure.

Of the method to his distributing minutes lately, Self, who used just eight players Saturday, said: “I don’t know, I guess what I feel at the time or what the flow is.”

“You know, I think he’s doing OK,” Self said. “You go from starting early (six of the first eight games) and then to not playing hardly at all here the last few games. I hate that, because he’s too talented not to play, but the reality is, the guys that are playing ahead of him right now are kind of settled in and playing very well.”

l

Svi’s doing OK: Self was asked about the frame of mind of 17-year-old Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who has not played in three of the last four games.

Self said the knee was “fine.” Greene also is battling headaches he has suffered since he ran into an Ellis elbow at practice last week.

Freshman forward Alexander has a bruised sternum he suffered after getting hit in the chest in practice recently.

“He’s fine. He is sore.

He’s got three more days l (to rest before WednesProductive player: It day’s 8 p.m. game at wouldn’t be a shock if TCU),” Self said. l Brannen Greene today More on Olympics: was named Big 12 player of the week despite log- Teams across the state of ging 35 minutes total in Kansas that participated victories over Oklahoma in the 2015 clinic: Dougand Texas.

side me the whole time,” Booker told Kirby. “He showed me support from the first time we talked and he saw my film. He was great through the whole process. It has been good to see the connection the coaches all have. They all come across as father figures. It gets me hyped. I enjoy all of them and it seems like a great staff.”

Armstrong, who caught the KU coaching staff’s eyes because of his size and speed, was the biggest fish the Jayhawks landed this weekend. With just a couple of weeks remaining before the Feb. 4 national sign-

ing day, his commitment appears solid.

“I’m happy to commit to Kansas, and I am done with recruiting,” Armstrong told Kirby. “I don’t know yet if I will take another visit but I do know I am going to Kansas.”

That brings the Jayhawks’ total number of commitments in the current recruiting class to 23, which leaves room for two more commitments before signing day. Armstrong is the third defensive lineman and second D-end in the class, Booker and Sims the third and four wide receivers, and Ogbebor is the lone linebacker.

favorite to make it 11 Big 12 titles in a row.

Of course, as soon as the players believe the race is over, it won’t be, because any team in the conference is capable of staging a major upset, as was illustrated Saturday when Texas Tech shocked Iowa State.

No doubt, though, Kansas will be as tough to catch from behind in the Big 12 race as it is in games.

Although the loss of Thomas hurts KU’s receiving corps, adding Booker and Sims helps lessen the blow.

Wide-receivers coach Klint Kubiak, who first became familiar with Booker while working with Beaty at Texas A&M, was the lead recruiter on Booker. He becomes the first significant pick-up by the 27-year-old, firstyear KU assistant.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Sister needs more help than siblings can give Dear Annie: I have three siblings.

The youngest sister, “Jess,” has always had problems. At 13, she started taking drugs and running away from home.

She spent five years in prison, and when she got out, my older sister offered to let Jess live with her so she could get a job and go to school.

Jess was OK for about 18 months. Then she developed back problems and was unable to work. After several disagreements with my sister, she moved out to live with her boyfriend, whom she later married. It’s been downhill from there.

A few nights before Thanksgiving, Jess knocked on my door with her husband and their dog. Apparently, they are homeless. Neither of them can stick to a job on a regular

basis. I’m sure Jess suffers from some type of mental illness, and now I think her husband does, too. I told Jess she could stay for three months and then would have to leave.

I hope she can get some assistance to help her get back on her feet.

Do you have any guidance for me? — Lost and Confused Dear Lost: It is compassionate of you to take in your sister and her family, but she needs

Don’t miss lost film on Holocaust The documentary “Night Will Fall” (8 p.m., HBO) is hard to watch, but not to be missed.

It unearths a lost film about the crime of the century and reflects on both the artistic and political nature of moviemaking. And it contains some of the most horrific, if artistic, depictions of the Nazi death camps ever filmed.

As the Allies plunged deeper into Germany in April 1945, they began to overrun and liberate Nazi concentration camps.

Moviemakers trained by the British, American and Soviet armies then amassed film footage of evidence of crimes against humanity.

The sheer volume of film stock called for professional directors and editors to cut it into a coherent story. “Night Will Fall” recalls the efforts to make that film as a warning to all people of the atrocities that human hatred and indifference can produce. Ultimately, Alfred Hitchcock returned from America to direct the film.

In a remarkable touch, “Night” interviews some of the young people featured in the 1945 footage recalling their horrible ordeal 70 years later. We also meet some of the filmmakers and editors.

Eventually, the British government pulled the plug on the documentary. The desire of tens of thousands of camp survivors to emigrate to Palestine did not please those in the British foreign office, so they did not want to release a powerful film sympathetic to the refugees. And with signs of a Cold War everywhere, British officials did not want to further demonize or demoralize a German population that might someday be needed to counter the Soviets.

With the British film shelved, the American government released a shorter documentary using Army footage. Directed

by Billy Wilder, it took the strident tone of a standard propaganda film.

Much of this footage has never been released publicly or theatrically, but was used as damning evidence during the Nuremberg war crime trials.

more help than you can give her. The best thing you can do for Jess is to look into local social services that will help her and her husband with mental health counseling, job training and housing.

Dear Annie: My 29-year-old stepson refuses to give gifts to family members at Christmas. A few years ago, I asked him why, and he said he doesn’t believe in the crass commercialism at Christmas. Yet he and his wife accept gifts from all of us on the holiday.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Jan. 26: This year you have a strong sense of direction, and you tend to command others’ attention and respect. Your home and domestic life will become far more important than in the past. If you are single, it will become clear that you won’t need to maintain that status. If you are attached, your significant other demands a lot of your time.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You are likely to indulge a loved one. You might want to share a master plan that you would like to try out. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You’ll emerge from the weekend willing to greet whatever heads your way. Someone could drop by with an inspirational idea. Tonight: Wish upon a star.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might not feel like your usual self. Pull back and try to find the right solution to a problematic situation. Tonight: Vanish.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You could be thinking about how you might want to present a new idea. Present a winning idea like it’s already won. Tonight: Hang with friends.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You are in the limelight, and you’ll sparkle accordingly.

You might not be aware of how

a card or phone on his Dad’s birthday or mine.

What do we do? Do we respect his views on commercialism and not give him gifts? Do we ignore it and hope he comes around? He and his wife earn plenty of money and can afford it. But that’s beside the point. It is the effort and caring that is lacking. — Wondering Dear Wondering: It is perfectly logical to stop buying presents for him. Of course, that won’t help the relationship. Has Dad told him how much it would mean to get a call or card on his birthday?

Some kids simply don’t realize the importance of remembering a loved one’s special day.

much someone else listens to you.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out for more information. Try to look at the matter from a detached perspective.

Tonight: Don’t trigger a reaction.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Deal with a loved one directly. This person will appreciate the attention. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others come forward, as they have a lot to share. You could be questioning going along with an idea. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are likely to trudge into the day with the mentality of “same old, same old.” Make a point of not holding back. Tonight: Just be yourself!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Someone might want to share more news, but you’ll need to be up for it. This person could be a child or new friend. Tonight: Let the party go on.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel worn out by what is happening around you. Consider taking the day off.

Don’t stray too far from home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Focus on one thing at a time. You could be unusually tired.
